Flagpoles in Columbia

State capital and garrison town: government offices, the flagship university, a large hospital system and Fort Jackson on the eastern edge of the city. We cover Columbia and the Richland County area, including the State House and the Capitol Complex, Main Street, the Congaree Vista, Five Points, Shandon, the University of South Carolina campus, Fort Jackson, Harbison and the Lake Murray shoreline.

Wind here. Columbia sits in a Midlands, on the Fall Line area, which works out to roughly 115 mph under the code your town uses. That figure decides how wide and how thick the pole has to be, so we check it against your address before we quote. Columbia sits on the Fall Line and the ground changes with it: Piedmont clay on the west side of the city, sand on the east and out toward Fort Jackson. Sand needs a wider footing than clay for the same pole, which is why we ask where in town you are before we price a foundation. Wind figures are moderate and a standard-wall shaft is normally correct, so more of the money goes into height and finish. Work touching Fort Jackson, or Shaw over at Sumter, needs domestic-content documentation and submittals, and every pole we sell can satisfy that. Properties in Shandon, Elmwood Park and the other historic districts go through review on height and placement.

Most of the people who call us from Columbia are state and county buildings, university and school facilities, hospitals and medical offices, churches, veterans organisations and defence contractors around Fort Jackson.
